dan paper, in conversation with Mime
apolls reporter a few days ago, yanked
Representative Greene over the Goals for
working for bill that has passed the coun-
Gil and is now before the house, providing
for the division of Willard county and an
neXing the fraction to Stark and Billings
counties. He claims Mr.. Greene Is county
destructionist, and his bill if passed will
oDliterate several unorganized counties and
give them up to cattle rings. The facts re-
gardlng this matter, as given by Mr.. Greene,
are that two years ago scheme was con-
cOcted and rushed through towards the close
OF the session defining the boundaries of
the county OF Willard, with Belfeld as the
prospective county seat.
THE SCHEME
was in the interest of a Mandan syndicate
and they are the men who are now kicking
because the unorganiZed county is being set
back. 1t was taken from Billings and
Stark counties without consulting these
counties. The tax due Willard county lies
in the territorial treasury and cannot be
used by anybody under the present state of
affairs. There is no prospect that the
county would be organized in the next ten
years, population having decreased from 100
two years ago to less than thirty, and they
would not stay there if they were able to
get out. The country is beyond the agri-
cultural districts, and as the county has no
organization it is better for the people to
keep out OF it. Gov. Church has sent to
the council his

instruction and his assistant. His choice
was, for superintendent, Eugene a. Dye,
OF Mellette, Sphinx county; for assistant.

an organizer of well known ability. He
came from the East several years ago and
has taught school in the West for a long
time, and has been superintendent OF
schools in Sphinx county for three years.

fought Griggs for the appointment of rail-

seat in the council with Jud La Moure and
